Hi! it's hiatus time.

Just wanted to let y'all know I'll be pretty inactive. Nothing bad! Just chronic lack of inspiration, kinda tired of the internet, you know the drill (or maybe not).

Since I'm making the rare not art post anyway: thank you all for all your nice comments/tags/asks!

PS Remember to keep chugging water and try to notice something beautiful or joyful every day!

#frankly im also trying to limit my time online. good luck to me.#kinda hate making this post don't want to make it a Whole Thing cos it's not #but don't want people to worry if they notice a lack of posting at some point #don't worry I'm NOT going to delete or anything!#maybe I'll be back once ofmd s2 drops in october maybe not - we'll seeee #or if a spn season 16 gets made. unfortunately that would do it #not art

boop. is this how it works.

#hello logged in just to check out what tumblr is doing for april's fools bc it's usually funny af #not art #lol

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

#not art #before you get mad at staff for this post: they can't really do much about others scraping their website against their or our wishes #so at least this toggle sends a signal i guess #not gonna start on the ai partnership thing that's a separate discussion #fuck ai
